I don't believe it is. It is a non- stick surface however but it doesn't appear to be cast iron.

From what I can tell it's both. It's heavy enough to make me think cast-iron, but it has a non-stick finish.

Yes it is cast iron, just follow is instructions for using and it works great. I believe they have a coat model as well. It turns over for a flat cooking surface. Love it.

I can't speak for the others. I can only tell you that ours is definitely cast iron. It's very heavy. We have a glass cook top and it takes a few minutes to heat up, but once it is heated it cooks great! I recommend cleaning it with mineral spirits and then scrubbing it with detergent BEFORE you start to season it. We love ours! Great wok for the price!

Hi - I beleive it is some kind of ceramic/iron cast - definetely not glass. So far we are very happy with it. My only concern it that I thought it would be easier to clean. If you drop anything on the surface wipe it off right away before the stain gets to old. I don't want to scubb the surface because I am afraid to scratch it but the stain don't come off that easily - I've yet to find the right product to clean it. Days we do heavy cooking I usually cover the surface with aluminium foil. Hope this helps - let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes, unless there has been a recent change. I ordered this from Amazon and it is cast aluminum. Works beautifully.

Nebraska, USA. The cast iron is a little rough, not the best I have ever seen, but surely a hard-working tool. Unfortunate to have to pay so much, but since nobody uses these anymore (except us), not much choice. Old ones are sold as "antiques" and cost an arm and a leg. I'm satisified with this purchase. Hope these comments are helpful.

Yes, it is cast iron. Careful of the handles, they get hotter than the plate!

I would say NO ... the instuctions state that it has to be stainless steel with no "finish" on it ... and they provide a small cloth that u use to "test" the surface ...but u could get it and try that first ... Amazon will take it back if u can't use it ..

Yes you can use a cast iron skillet. The cooking surface is also cast iron. I have used my cast iron skillet several times no issues.

It was a cast iron, and used out of the box and it works great. So far anything it has been used for has not stuck. You just have to clean it the way the instructions say. Would recomend to buy it .

No, sorry cast iron should always be hand washed and thoughly dried before being put away to prevent rusting, but the enamel does make it easier to clean. I hope that helps.

It is not cast iron, it is cast aluminum, and yes it does have a non-stick coating.

No, it is a steel material. Only the grille plates themselves are cast iron.

The cast iron comes pre-seasoned which means that if you don't take care of it after each use, you will have to start all over. No, there is no chemical film added such as a Teflon-like surface.

it is cast iron. for stove top and cooking works fine once it has been seasoned. I use it to cook rice on the wood stove.
